They say go no contact for a reason...

You try to hold on in the midst that things get back to the way they were..

But it will never be the same..

You know deep down that things will never be the same...

....

But you resist..

You continue to resist change because it fucking sucks to change...

Shedding all that you were.... But can never be again....

The pain aches throughout your being...

The cold winds of the world blowing against your fragile being...

Exposing the delicacy of one's core to the harsh elements of life with no one to protect you...

You wallow in wonder...

Why... Why me... What did I do to deserve so much pain...

....

But wallow any longer and death will surely be imminent...

....

So you have a choice to make...

Live or Die......

You choose to live...

You head up the intimating hill in hopes to gain a sense of where you are...

Its not very clear but you push on...

You look for shelter to shield you from the harsh elements...

You happen to find a cave that will do until you get hungry and go find food...

You try to wait for it to warm up but it seems that it gets colder and colder...

You cant wait any longer... You need food....

But you dont have any of the neccessary tools around...

You notice you can use pieces of the environment to make it easier to hunt for food...

You make a little something out of nothing but can get you by for a bit...

You prepare for the hunt to the best of your ability...

You visualize a feast of epic propertions...

You locate your prey aannnnnnnnd......

It gets away.....

...

All that work for nothing... But you keep trying...

You get better...

You get better at tracking...

You get better with the handling of your weapon...

You get better with your approach to the matter at hand...

And suddenly....

You find success in the hunt......

...

You skin it for clothing so you can be warm... And you cook its meat for strength in order to progress...

You progress and build a home...

You cultivate your land to reap a harvest...

You sow good seeds...

You raise your own livestock...

And eventually you are stable...

...

Now you are on a stroll admiring all and of your hard work and dedication..

You've adapted and are better protected from the elements...

You've created self sustainability...

You've created a strong foundation for your new life...

You are proud...

You've came along way...

That hill from before isnt as intimidating now so you check it out with clarity.

However...

What you see over the hill reveals strength within you and shows just how far you've come...

Countless dead... Wallowing...
